In previous studies, frontier production models have been analysed either in a non-optimizing or cost-minimizing framework. In this paper we discuss estimation of technical and allocative inefficiency under the behavioral assumption of profit maximization. Specification and estimation issues are discussed in the context of the Cobb-Douglas production function.
